Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Larned's History of the World, or Seventy Centuries of the Life of Mankind, Vol. 3 of 5: A Survey of History From the Earliest Known Records Through All Stages of Civilization, in All Important Countries, Down to the Present Time
An idea of the extension of this primary teach ing in the later mediaeval period may be taken from such indicative facts as the following, found in the archives of Paris: Independently of the schools attached to churches, eleven masters and one mistress figure in the roll of the land tax levied on the inhabitants of Paris by Philip the Fair in 1292. In the fourteenth century we find record of forty-one masters and twenty-two mistresses; in the fifteenth century there are a hundred.
Of course, secondary schools imply the exist ence of primary schools, and if the former were numerous the latter must have been more so.
